• I've been at my parents this week, just before I left my mum produced this which was my grandfather's.

    (Seiko for scale)

    Perhaps I'm wrong but it seems unlikely an accountant from rural West Wales would have a Junghans? He was a paratrooper in the war and when we cleared out his house, we found a walnut handled Walther he had 'liberated' from a German Officer.

    Does anyone know more about Junghans pocket watches from this period? I didn't get a chance to see the movement as I had to get a train, but I can ask for some.

  • Commonly known as wristlets. A dear friend made one for me a couple of years ago after I obsessed about one made by leather artisan Munoz vrandecic. If memory serves correct (from my snooping around the net) They date back to a time long before the wristwatch as we know it today.
